Now that it feels like it's almost over, it's hard not to think back to what made it what it was.

Jurgen Klopp's eight-and-a-half years at Liverpool have left an indelible mark on the Premier League in a way that goes beyond what was, after all, just a single title. For me, the story has often been told in the faces of the opposition. It may be that, more than any individual game, trophy or goal, that will linger the longest.

Some of the best players in the world have suffered through it. That feeling of being tossed about mercilessly and 슬롯사이트추천 endlessly in Klopp's Anfield washing machine. A feeling of helplessness, a sense that the size of the challenge is just too great, the forces pinning you back too irresistible. With that in mind, I think back to Lionel Messi at Anfield on the night of May 7, 2019.



With the great man's Barcelona team 3-0 down in a Champions League semi-final second leg and on the way to one of the most humbling experiences in their history, the greatest player some of us have ever seen stood over a restart looking utterly bereft. Confused, shellshocked, lost. All of that and more.

That is what Klopp's Liverpool did to the best that Europe had to offer during that particularly golden period that brought them three Champions League finals in five seasons.

Facing Klopp's side has at times been so unpredictable it makes it almost impossible to fathom

Manchester City, arguably the best team in the world over the same timespan, know the feeling well. Liverpool did it to Pep Guardiola's team too. 

Twice in the space of three months in early 2018, in the Premier League and in Europe, and as recently as last month. That most recent game ended 1-1 but how Guardiola and his players survived a classic second-half onslaught maybe they don't even know.
